| Freak Cyprus Tornado â Columbia STS-107: The ââRealââ Story??? | |||
| 2003-02-26 | |||
| Al-Bawaba once again provides proof that no one dare stand against the awesome power of the US and Israel. On January 27, 2003 at around 10 a.m., an unusually powerful tornado struck the island of Cyprus, sweeping through the coastal city of Limassol, extensively damaging shops and homes, uprooting trees, tearing apart roofs and overturning vehicles. The enormous storm marked the first of its kind to hit the Middle East and Cyprus. Shortly following, an amazing story regarding the rare tornado had started circulating the Internet. Albawaba has obtained a copy of the story and is delighted to share it with our readers:
At the time of the tornado, Israelâs main media channels and newspapers were in contact with sources in the meteorology sector, the Israeli Army and Air Force, as they were interested in finding out the cause behind the ârare phenomenonâ of the gigantic tornado, which hit the Mediterranean Sea. The army and other sources, on their part, said they had no information regarding the developments in Cyprus or Limassol. At the exact same time, in three different locations - - at Houston Space Center, the Israeli Air Force Headquarters âsomewhereâ in Tel Aviv area and Space Shuttle Columbia - hundreds of Israeli Air Force members and meteorology experts celebrated the success of the joint âexperimentâ carried out between the Israeli Air Force and NASAâs Space Center.
The âexperimentâ was entitled: âThe creation of an artificial tornado, aided by dust stormsâ. After nearly two weeks in space, as Space Shuttle Columbia STS-107 passed above the eastern part of the Mediterranean across Israel, the final phase of the âexperimentâ was activated. This was an âexperimentâ in which dozens of Israeli and US Air Force aircraft took part in and which required large amounts of resources and high-technology equipment. The âcover storyâ for this âexperimentâ was âjoint regional training between foreign Air Forces and the Israeli Air Forceâ. Each of the heavy aircraft that flew played a role in the âexperimentâ to produce the âFirst artificial tornadoâ. The man in charge of supervising the entire âexperimentâ from Space Shuttle Columbia, on behalf of the Israeli Air Force was Ilan Ramon - Israelâs first man in space. A Colonel in the Israeli Air Force, Ramon was a fighter pilot who was the only payload specialist on STS-107. According to NASA, as a member of the Red Team, Ramon was the prime crewmember for the Mediterranean Israeli Dust Experiment (MEIDEX), a multi-spectral camera that measured small dust particles (dust aerosols) in the atmosphere over the Mediterranean and the Saharan coast of the Atlantic.
Back to the tornado, four and a half years of research and joint experiments, which intensified up until the peak moment in which the âtornadoâ was âcreatedâ were fulfilled. The âcover storyâ for the âexperimentâ, which was revolutionary in its implications, was the effect of the âdust system in the airâ on the production of rain. The assumption that the Israeli top scientists assumed was that it is possible to create by means of dust coming from Africa and other âvarious additivesâ injected into the air from aircraft, situated at âdifferent altitudesâ, a hurricane or a tornado. Actually, the enormous success of the âexperimentâ resulted in a side effect, which found its expression in âtremendous amounts of rainâ which have recently fallen throughout Israel, from the start of the âexperimentâ till it reached its peak on January 27 in the âlethal tornadoâ that hit Limassol. The main reason that the tornado did not stay in the heart of the sea, across the territorial waters of Israel, but instead moved north to Cyprus was the sharp change in the blow of winds that dragged it to an unexpected destination, and that constitutes one central lesson learned. It is unnecessary, of course, to explain the implications of the possibility of âcreating a tornado according to orderâ or to direct it to a certain place or chosen destination and to activate it above a specific city or region. Watch out for hurricanes in Baghdad, bwahahaha! It is possible to use this âeffectâ for blessed purposes such as the transfer of water to arid regions or the creation of large amounts of rain, which are to fall down according to demand and location. It is also possible to use this âeffectâ for âmilitary purposesâ and to create âtotal chaosâ in a given region and for a fixed period of time. What exactly went on aboard Space Shuttle Columbia STS-107 regarding the âtornado experimentâ and many other scientific experiments will always remain a mystery, as the shuttle disintegrated nearly 70 kilometers above the Earth, just a few minutes before its scheduled landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Columbia broke up during re-entry on February 1, killing all seven astronauts on board, including Ilan Ramon. With regards to the specific details concerning the âtornado experimentâ, it seems the world will never completely really know who and what were exactly behind the âexperimentâ, how it worked, was organized and activated and who originally came up with the idea. Unfortunately, any information regarding the âexperimentâ perished and vanished into spaceâs never-ending vastness, along with other âsecretsâ aboard Columbia STS-107. Resistance is futile, perpare to be assimilated! | |||

| #12 Environmental issues, such as global warming, the ozone layer, pollution, and extreme weather conditions, have become paramount topics on the world agenda. The Earth Observing System (EOS) program is designed to improve our understanding of the physical, biological, and social processes which regulate the entire Earth system. Satellite remote sensing provides comprehensive, long-term global Earth measurements necessary for understanding the global environmental system. This world wide effort could have far-reaching implications for the benefit of people everywhere. |

| #11 is it to study what is or manipulate towards something new? ______________________________________________ MISSION DESCRIPTION The main objective of MEIDEX experiment is the investigation of desert aerosol physical properties (optical, chemical etc.), the temporal variations of its sources, sinks and transportation, Applications to the effect on the energy balance and chemistry of the ambient atmosphere, to weather prediction and climate simulation will also be attempted. These activities include remote as well as in situ measurements of light scattering by desert aerosol particles in different wavelengths starting from the near UV to the solar infrared wavelengths, including two wavelenghts used by TOMS instrument for determination of aerosol properties as well as four of those used by MODIS. The supporting ground-based and air-borne measurements both consist of optical observations as well as direct sampling of dust particles. The airborne measurements will be planned so as to fly preferably under contemporaneous shuttle orbits. The colocation, correlation and simultaneity of shuttle, aircraft and ground-based data will make possible the validation of the remote spaceborne observations. The roles of the astronaut will be to observe the underlying terrain and identify dust plumes, their location and their extent, carry out the measurement sequence when dust plumes, the airplane or ground observation networks are overflown or the location of a dust plume is forecast as well as carry out visibility experiments. |

| #10 Gotta wonder why they didn't test the weather control device in Iran, Iraq, Mecca or Paris for that matter. What is wrong with the evil zionists these days? |

| #9 Why go to all that effort when you can purchase weather control devices for world domination at villiansupply.com |

| #8 Limassol is in the Greek part of Cyprus. I guess the Jew-Crusader Alliance has become so depraved that it is now killing innocent Christians, too. |

| #6 "hmm, I bet Americans and Jews are also responsible for that big earthquake in China." No, that was me. Sorry. I accidentally left the device powered on, and the cat jumped up on the keyboard. |

| #3 Next we will have a condemnation of Zionist tornados from CAIR or the Arab News and after that another anti Israel UN resolution |
